Introduction The subject matter of this analysis is an environmental impact report on designed venture of wind farm construction (FW) consisting of 13 power stations of power rating 2,3 MW each, and of end-user transformer substation (GPZ). Planned investment is located round localities: Lędzin, Gocławice, Kusin, Drozdrowo in Karnice commune. The report was prepared on the grounds of partial analyses of selected issues and the analysis of their impact on environment. This analysis includes conclusions drawn from partial analyses determining the possible influence of the designed investment on selected elements of environment during the construction, operation and liquidation phase. Detailed information together with the analysis of the venture’s impact on particular elements of environment is contained in detailed analyses attached to the report as appendices. - Appendix No 1 – Dariusz Janicki, Robert Kościów 2006.
